Portable Rack

Craft Equipment has been distributing and promoting portable racks for over 20 years. In many situations, portable racks are a far better material handling solution than standard pallet racking. Racks eliminate the need to purchase, lease, repair, or dispose of traditional wood pallets. Racks, by the nature of their portability, allow the user to maximize storage density (like a drive-in or flow rack), or to maximize selectivity (like traditional selective rack), or anything in between, all with the same rack.

With portable racks, it is easy to change from one rack layout to another. There is no expensive installation or dismantling cost! Because of their removable comer posts, the racks can be shipped and stored very densely. Traditional racking consumes the same space at all times, whether empty or full. This makes the portable rack ideal for applications with fluctuating inventory levels, as the racks can be stored in a fraction of their normal space, freeing valuable floor space for other uses. Before you buy your next pallet rack system, consider the benefits of the portable rack or pin rack. It may be a real saver of time and money for your operation!

Stac-King® Portable Racks

Craft Equipment has been distributing and promoting portable racks for over 20 years. In many situations, portable racks are a far better material handling solution than standard pallet racking. Racks eliminate the need to purchase, lease, repair, or dispose of traditional wood pallets. Racks, by the nature of their portability, allow the user to maximize storage density (like a drive-in or flow rack), or to maximize selectivity (like traditional selective rack), or anything in between, all with the same rack.

Stac-King racks eliminate the need to purchase, lease, repair, and / or dispose of traditional wood pallets. Stac-King rack's tubular steel base along with or without various deck coverings, acts as its own pallet eliminating disposal costs and headaches associated with wood pallets. The Stac-King rack's vertical posts allow the racks to be stacked several units high, without load-on-load contact. Compared to simple wood pallets, this can eliminate product crushing damage. More overhead space can be used, more safely, and with less product damage.

The Stac-King rack provides a measure of protection for the load it holds. During in-plant handling, or in shipment, the Stac-King rack can reduce costly damage. Traditional fixed position pallet racks cannot do so! Stac-King racks, by the nature of their portability, allow the user to maximize storage density (like a drive-in or flow rack), or to maximize selectivity (like traditional selective rack), or anything in between, all with the same rack.

With the Stac-King rack, it is easy to change from one rack layout to another. There is no expensive installation or dismantling cost with Stac-King! Because of their removable comer posts, the Stac-King racks can be shipped and stored very densely. Traditional racking consumes the same space at all times, whether empty or full. This makes the Stac-King rack ideal for applications with fluctuating inventory levels, as the racks can be stored in a fraction of their normal space, freeing valuable floor space for other uses. Some loads cannot be stored efficiently on traditional pallet rack. Boxes, tires, rolls, coils, and other hard to handle items are ideal for the Stac-King. Of course, the Stac-King handles the easier loads too. Before you buy your next pallet rack system, consider the benefits of the Stac-King rack.

Craft specializes in adapting standard product designs to better meet specific customer requirements. An example of this philosophy is the custom Stac King rack, commonly referred to as a "pin rack" or "peg rack." A relatively standard Stac King portable rack is customized with a double-level sheet metal deck. The sheet metal is perforated to accept drop-in "pins," which allows to user to contain parts on the rack, even if their shape varies. This rack is ideal for handling steel stampings, blanks, or other flat goods.
